Audacity to Believe

HarperCollins, Publishers

Good Friday People is a profoundly honest and moving book, a book that looks unflinchingly at the reality of suffering. Following the journey of Jesus towards the Cross, Sheila Cassidy encourages us to walk alongside him and alongside her 'Good Friday people' - a motley group of saints and sinners mysteriously called to share the suffering of Christ. Some them are victims of violence like Archbishop Romero and other caught up in oppression in El Salvador; Victor Jara who was tortured and killed in Chile; the people of Auschwitz. Other suffer physical illness like Fr Jimmy Doherty, a priest with multiple sclerosis; David, a boy with a brain tumour, and Suzi Lovegrove, a woman with AIDS. Sheila Cassidy invites us to share the pain of her Good Friday people, and so to share more deeply in Jesus' story. It is a difficult, often harrowing, journey, but one which takes us beyond the Cross, helping us to meet the risen Christ who is 'permeating the suffering, suffusing the darkness'.

What is the point of Lent? If prayer and reading and self-denial are worth doing at this time of year, perhaps we should be doing them all the year round! Christianity is not a blueprint for repression but for joy: for a life of fulfilment beyond our wildest dreams. Jesus said `I have come that you may have life and have it to the full'. In short chapters suitable for individual reading or group study, and questions for meditation and reflection, Sheila Cassidy considers the word `LENT' as an acronym for what it really means to live as a Christian today: L is for LOVE E is for EMPATHY N is quite simply for NO! T is for THANK YOU GOD A unique and refreshing addition to the DLT's acclaimed library of Lent courses.
